Dark Chocolate from Your Manahawkin Chiropractor

02/07/2012

Ok, Manahawkin Chiropractic Center can't present you a piece of chocolate through the computer, but we can share some of its perks with you.

Principally, chocolate is good for you, especially the dark chocolate kind. Honest! Is that why why 36 million heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are sold for Valentine's Day? (1) Probably not, but your Manahawkin chiropractor hopes you get one full of dark chocolates!

Chocolate and its main ingredient, cocoa, have beneficial effects for your heart, mind and body.

Cocoa has about 4 times higher antioxidant capacity than green tea and twice that of red wine. (2) The anti-oxidant flavanols encountered in cocoa beans decreases cell damage in heart disease and help reduce blood pressure. (4,6)

The anti-oxidants and the bigger magnesium content in dark chocolate might help with constipation trouble and even speed up bowel movements! (2,5) We chiropractors know that constipation when you have back pain isn't good!

These findings are why Manahawkin Chiropractic Center can accept the enjoyment of dark chocolate...in moderation, of course. Mood, memory, brain function, heart, immune system and stress reduction may all benefit as well. (2) Whose day isn't enhanced with a piece of chocolate?!

Manahawkin Chiropractic Center stands firm that not all nutrition has to be in pill form or even boring food form.
